I’m whipping out the DeLorean for these next few posts! Back in 2012, I decided to cheer on our country (USA! USA!) at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. But instead of just going to London, I decided to add Paris, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Dublin onto my itinerary. It was a jammed packed trip but I loved every minute of it!
I totally recommend buying your tickets before hand. The only catch with The Louvre is that you have to pick up your tickets at a 3rd party location. You CANNOT pick them up at The Louvre. The location where I picked up my ticket was almost like a Best Buy store with a Ticketmaster inside and was in St. Germain des Pres so it wasn’t too far from the museum. You can purchase your tickets here: The Louvre – Advanced Tickets
Since I had our tickets already in hand, I got to skipped the crazy long line and into The Louvre I went!
I loved your tips Christine! I visited Paris more than twice and I recommend to enter (when it is possible) the Porte des Lions. Ming Pei is not the only entrance 😉 Thanks for reminding me about a lovely day I spent discovering art in Paris!
